Texans can do their part to help conserve electricity with a few simple steps:
- Turn down your thermostats to 68 degrees
- Close blinds and curtains to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows
- Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances
- Avoid using large appliances (i.e., ovens, washing machines, etc.)
- Businesses should minimize the use of lighting and electric-consuming equipment as much as possible
- Large consumers of electricity should consider shutting down or reducing non-essential production processes
